We've joined forces with fellow Dutch start-ups Carbyon, Paebbl, and Skytree to form the Dutch DAC/DOC Coalition. Our mission: to accelerate the adoption of Direct Air Capture (DAC) and Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technologies to deliver on Europe’s climate ambitions and close the loop of green CO₂. Last week, we presented our foundational policy paper in Brussels and aligned with a range of key European policymakers and leaders, including Han ten Broeke (Head of Cabinet for Commissioner for Climate, Net Zero and Clean Growth Wopke Hoekstra), Jeannette Baljeu (member of the European Parliament), Marthe Huigsloot, Henk Snoeken, Julia Chrispijn (members of the Permanent Representation of the Netherlands to the EU), and Daniel Mes, Nicolas Guez-Loussouarn from Ursula von der Leyen’s Task Force on Competitiveness.

DAC and DOC technologies offer a dual solution to help restore balance to the carbon cycle: by permanently removing legacy CO₂ from the atmosphere, and repurposing it as a valuable, circular resource for the industries that need it. Many thanks to Publyon EU for their support with making the Brussels mission a success. We look forward to continuing the conversation and helping Europe unlock a truly circular carbon economy.

It’s been a milestone-filled quarter, from advancing our Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV), to driving innovation and strengthening global collaborations. We’ve progressed our R&D, shared our story on international stages, and joined forces with peers worldwide - each step bringing us closer to responsibly scaling marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). Two exciting updates to share: 🔹We’re kicking off a Dutch research collaboration under TKI Deltatechnologie with Wageningen University & Research (Marine Research) , Deltares and Waardenburg Ecology, with support from NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research and advisory from the SeaCURE project at the University of Exeter. With a budget of €450K, this project will assess impacts and efficiency of scaled-up Direct Ocean Carbon Capture (DOCC) projects by using a combination of literature review, laboratory & mesocosm experiments, and ocean modeling. This will inform safe designs of future projects, in line with our commitment to ensuring ocean health. Stay tuned for more details! 🔹 We’re thrilled to share that we’ve been awarded the CIEIF grant ($75k) to support our efforts by strengthening environmental impact assessments, predictive ocean modeling, and stakeholder engagement through partnerships, reinforcing our commitment to ocean health and responsible deployment. 🔗 Want to learn more?

9th CO₂ Value Europe Days Concludes: A Milestone for Collaboration in the CCU Community The 9th CO₂ Value Europe Days and General Assembly wrapped up successfully this week, marking a significant milestone as the first edition co-hosted by two of our members: TNO and Fluor Corporation. Held in Rijswijk (NL), the event brought together leading voices in the Carbon Capture and Utilisation (#CCU) field for two days of impactful exchange, strategic discussion, and community building. TNO, the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research, and Fluor, a global engineering and construction leader, exemplify the power of collaboration within the CO₂ Value Europe membership. Together, they showcased the importance of combining research excellence with industrial know-how to accelerate the transition towards circularity and climate neutrality in Europe. From showcasing progress in CCU project development and exploring #cleantech strategies in the Netherlands, to in-depth discussions on modelling, commercialisation, and bankability, this year’s event highlighted the multifaceted progress being made across the CCU value chain. The launch of CO₂ Value Europe’s new Working Group on R&D also underscored the importance of shaping future funding instruments to accelerate innovation. Together, these sessions demonstrated how collaboration within our community drives real impact. A warm thank you to TNO and Fluor Corporation for their invaluable support as co-hosts, and to all participants who contributed to the dynamic and forward-looking atmosphere of this edition. We look forward to continuing this momentum and welcoming you to the 10th CO₂ Value Europe Days next year!

It’s a wrap at CO2 Value Europe Days 🇪🇺 Hosted by TNO, Fluor Corporation, and CO2 Value Europe, this year’s event at The Park in Rijswijk brought together innovators and industry leaders for inspiring discussions, structured networking, and a lively social program, sparking new collaborations across the Carbon Capture & Utilisation (CCU) community. 💡 A highlight was the mini exhibition, where members and partners showcased breakthrough technologies. We presented how our Direct Ocean Capture (DOC) technology provides captured CO₂ as a feedstock for concrete mineralisation, unlocking durable carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credits — and as an input for alternative fuels such as SAFs and green methanol. ⚗️🌍 Our CTO, Maarten Oudshoorn and Founder's Associate, Zamin Syed took part in insightful discussions on the future of CCU in the Netherlands and across the EU, including the policy pathways needed to accelerate deployment 🇳🇱 As the EU scales its carbon removal and CCU efforts, we emphasised the need for DOC to be recognised alongside Direct Air Capture (DAC) in CCU policy, particularly in regions with limited land availability and vast coastline, where the ocean can play a central role in CDR and CO₂ feedstock. A big thank you to the CO2 Value Europe team for their continued policy leadership and tireless efforts to strengthen the CCU ecosystem across Europe. 🙏 #CO2ValueEurope #CCU #DOC #DAC #CarbonRemoval #OceanTech #Sustainability #Innovation #ClimateAction #SeaO2

We’re excited to share that Isometric’s Direct Ocean Capture & Storage (DOCS) Protocol has been officially certified, a defining milestone for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The DOCS Protocol defines the world’s first science-based, publicly reviewed framework for projects that remove and permanently store CO₂ through Direct Ocean Capture (DOC). It introduces a robust Monitoring, Reporting & Verification (MRV) system that combines direct measurements with ocean modelling to track CO₂ uptake and ensure permanence. We’re proud that the SeaO2 MRV team (Dr. Daan Reijnders and Gerianne Terlouw), together with our DOC peers, contributed to its development. As one of the first project developers to sign up to issue carbon removal credits under the certified DOCS Protocol, SeaO2 reaffirms its commitment to transparency, scientific integrity, and responsible ocean-based carbon removal. 🌍We’re grateful to Isometric for leading this important effort and to our peers across the mCDR community for their collaboration in setting this new benchmark!
